CHARRED LEEKS WITH HONEY AND VINEGAR



Charred Leeks With Honey and Vinegar image

Don't be afraid to take the leeks to the point where they almost look burnt. A well-charred exterior means the interiors will be creamy, soft, silky, and delightfully sweet.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 medium leeks (about 2½ lb.), white and pale green parts only, tough outer layers removed (root ends left intact)
2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 tsp. honey
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for high heat. Rinse off any sand and dirt from leeks and pat dry. Arrange directly on grate (no need to oil) and grill, turning every few minutes with tongs, until outsides are completely blackened (leeks should start to soften and may begin to release some juices), 12-16 minutes.
  • Transfer leeks to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes (the interiors will continue to steam and get even softer as they cool).
  • While the leeks are resting, whisk vinegar and honey in a small bowl until honey dissolves. Set dressing aside.
  • Cut leeks on a diagonal into 1½"-2" pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt.
  • Transfer leeks to a platter and spoon reserved dressing over. Drizzle with more oil and season with pepper.

37 LEEK RECIPES THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR ONION OUTLOOK

  • Steamed Winter Veggie Bowls. Steaming vegetables isn't the flashiest cooking technique, but it truly lets veggies become their best selves. Here, they get a little help from sherry vinegar, honey, and cayenne.
  • Braised Leeks, Peas, and Lettuce. Braising may sound like a winter move, but this delicate spring braise will bring something fresh and nuanced to your table.
  • Spring Greens and Leek Gratin. The contents of this cast iron skillet demonstrate the best way to eat your greens: with creamy, cheesy leeks, of course!
  • Glazed Leeks With Pine Nut Salsa Verde. This is a great side dish to help you get to know leeks more intimately. They're brought to life with a nutty, herby salsa verde and spiked with a little honey-sweetened sherry vinegar.
  • Leek and Potato Galette With Pistachio Crust. Few things go together as well as humble leeks, potatoes, and goat cheese. But the ground pistachios in the crust make this galette truly luxe.
  • Leeks in Vinaigrette with Walnuts and Tarragon. If you want to show off that you know your way around a leek, make this riff on a classic leeks in vinaigrette.
  • Spring Pea Fish Chowder. What makes this fish chowder sing is its leek backbone. Every bowl is fragrant with sweet alliums, and the broth is infused with their subtle flavor.
  • Charred Leeks With Honey and Vinegar. Sometimes you want to burn your dinner on purpose. Alliums (plants in the onion family, such as leeks) are among the group of ingredients that really benefit from a good char on a grill.
  • Chicken and Rice With Leeks and Salsa Verde. This one-skillet meal shows what leeks can do for chicken and rice, but it's the deeply savory anchovy-garlic-caper salsa, and the hit of lemon juice before serving that boosts this dish toward lift-off.
  • Leek-Top Baking-Sheet Hash. This recipe highlights one of the most under-utilized greens: leek tops. If you're trying to get more bang for your buck and cut down on waste in the kitchen, keep this one in your back pocket.
